One number is 4 times the other, so x and 4x.
The sum of two numbers is 4x+x=70.
Solve for x to get
x=70/5=14
the other number is 4x=4*14=56
FD/CA = EF/BC
x/(8.5 mm) = (12 mm)/(4 mm)
x = (8.5 mm)*(12/4)
x = 25.5 mm . . . . . . . . . . . the 3rd selection
Answer:
(a) isosceles
(b), (c) scalene
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of the sides can be found from the distance formula:
d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)
Here, there are 9 lengths to be computed, so it is useful to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do it.
We find triangle (a) has two sides the same length, so it is isosceles.
The other two triangles have three different side lengths, so they are scalene.

<em>Additional comment</em>
It is impossible to specify an equilateral triangle using rational coordinates.
(a + 1)(a² + 2a + 1)
= a(a² + 2a + 1) + 1(a² + 2a + 1)
= a³ + 2a² + a + a² + 2a + 1
= a³ + 3a² + 3a + 1
